Luckily, a new type of cold brew is hitting the states and your
local supermarket: canned coffee.

While fairly common in Europe and Japan,
where coffee has been canned since the 1960s, it's only
just making its way to the US.

Blue
Bottle and La Colombe led the
charge by canning coffee, and now Blackeye Roasting
Co. in Minnesota is joining the fray. Matt McGinn,
founder and president of Blackeye, is working to spread the trend
of both cold brew and canned brew to the Midwest.
"Cold brew is blowing up in New York, Austin, Portland,
Seattle. But there was nothing here in the Midwest," he told
Tasting
Table.

Similar to beer, canned coffee is
nitrogenated — just like nitro coffee on tap, there's a foamy
cap and a creamy consistency.

Besides weighing less than bottles, and being more
economically sensible, the biggest reason is
convenience.

You can bring the drink with you on-the-go, or have it
ready for you when you wake up. It's also an ideal drink for
traveling. As McGinn states, "You
can’t take a bottle into a beach or a golf course, but you can
take cans: There are unlimited possibilities."
